KDE 3.x was gratuitously entanged junk, based on my use of it just
after the turn of the century. The fact that KDE 4.x is even worse
doesn't lessen this. I suggest we stay away from anything resembling
KDE. And KDE3.x was bloaty, as I remember. When I switched from KDE to
IceWM, it was like somebody added a second processor to my machine.

enumerate the hardships caused by "integration."
